Possible Causes
Loose data cable between display PCB and main PCB, Corroded connector pins, Failed user interface board, Faulty main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel or accessing electronics.
Steps to check:
- Remove control fascia: Carefully unclip or unscrew the front control panel to access the display PCB and wiring.
- Inspect ribbon cable: Check the flat ribbon or harness connecting the display to the main board. Reseat both ends and ensure there are no kinks or cuts.
- Look for corrosion: Moisture can corrode connectors. Clean lightly with contact cleaner and a soft brush if needed.
- Board substitution: If wiring is intact but the error persists, replace the user interface board first. If that does not resolve the issue, the main control board may also require replacement.
Tip: Take photos of all connections before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.
